      - I figured it would be. I just wanted to see if it was rigged. -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 14:00
- That wasn't the goal. That was to avoid David's begging and pleading come June. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:41 1
  - some people like to see him beg and plead -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:42

    - this is my plan. i'm not going to try unless i'm over 50% amp. - TFox Feb 10, 14:00
  - Yeah. -- nm - nubby Feb 10, 13:37
  - You gamble like Mike Matusow. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:37 3
    - Am I really taking a risk? - TFox Feb 10, 13:39 2
      - That is true...however, do you wanna risk she'll snap and you'll end up a nick - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:40 1
        
        She can't even make her fingers type the letters of those first two in succession. -- nm - TFox Feb 10, 13:42
- SB+, it'll take forever and a day, otherwise -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 13:28

My dog got into it with a raccoon last night, today his cheek is swollen and sagging, like a fat lip, no obvious discomfort or anything, just looks - zeitgeist Feb 10, 13:27 9
- Not an emergency, but definitely worth a vet visit. - ceregon Feb 10, 13:47 1
  - of course he has that, wouild he need a booster? or a second, lets be sure shot? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 10, 13:49
- I would check with the vet -- nm - Jovian Feb 10, 13:40
- that's where rabies come from, right? I'd visit the vet just to rule out any potential infection. -- nm - Max Feb 10, 13:39 1
  - also, abscesses are common from animal fights. -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 13:40
- did you at least disinfect it? -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 13:36
- I would at least call the vet and ask. Raccoons are dirty nasty little beasts. -- nm - decline Feb 10, 13:33 2
  - I had a pet raccoon when I was in junior high. He was quite clean and very friendly around me, but was scared of just about everybody else. - ceregon Feb 10, 13:48 1

David, you're count is fine for someone who uses BA as primary indication of a player, now an OBP breakdown would look like this - crash davis Feb 10, 13:23 33
- I can not explain how disappointed I am on the IM of this post. - musubi Feb 10, 13:24 9
  - I think you should be proud of me, I'm expanding sabermetrics to other endeavors -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:27 8
    - That post has as much to do with Sabermetrics as this post does to Cross Country Skiing. (nm) - musubi Feb 10, 13:29 7
      - But he is scrambling his logic to a degree that should make you proud. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:33 5
        
        In the sense that he's aspiring to meet your standards in the field, sure. (nm) - musubi Feb 10, 13:35 4
        
        Pedro Astacio 4eva! -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:37 3

        The other day, a Braves fan who had specifically told me that I would love the Tex trade the rest of my life... - David Feb 10, 13:39 1
        
        to be fair, he only said *you* would love it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 13:43
      - well, I do see a snowfield on your IM -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:31
- How long did it take you to come up with a formula where you could cover up your initial mistake? - David Feb 10, 13:24 7
  - Actually, Isaac Mizrahi was the one who pointed out the meaningless of quickfires. My initial post to you indicated I don't count them -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:25 4
    - Isn't that the fashion guy? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:26 3
      - He was a recent guest judge on Top Chef and... - David Feb 10, 13:29 1
        
        it was all on how the food looked, they didn't taste a dang thing -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:30
      - yes -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:26
  - I bet he hasn't even gotten boobs yet. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:24 1
    - He hasn't and in fact, I'm going to find a random post of his and drill him with a FOAKY. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:25
- uh, your count, not "you're count" -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:24
- Are you really trying to sabremetric Top Chef? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:24 13
  - It was that or admit he misread the very chart he linked. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:24 11
    - now you should just admit you misread my post, I told you Dale is slipping and I excluded quickfires -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:26 10
      - Okay, I'll play along. - David Feb 10, 13:28 9
        
        either when you excluded two team quickfire wins Richard has, or when you thought that Dales two solo quickfires were more impressive than Carla's - crash davis Feb 10, 13:30 8
        
        Neither of which happened as the next post's math demonstrated. - David Feb 10, 13:32 7
        
        no, I meant you aren't counting Richard's two team quickfire wins, and you were not giving proper credit for top threes and so -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:39 6
        
        You mean the partial credit wins, one of which he shared with Dale? - David Feb 10, 13:44 5
        
        and I properly credited both Richard and Dale, which your system hasn't -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:47 3
        
        If anything, I should take a win away from Richard for winning once without any food being tasted. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:49 2
        
        or just admit that quickfires are not nearly as important as eliminations, and embrace the crude beginnings of Top Chef sabermetrics -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:51 1
        
        Paraphrasing Mr. Ed's theme, a dish is a dish. - David Feb 10, 13:55
        
        Someone remind me in 45 that I need to give Crash another FOAKY. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:45
  - why the eff not -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 13:24
From wiki: "Birza [Fabio from Survivor] has also acted as "Charlie" in director David DeCoteau's homoerotic horror film "A Dream Within A Dream" - MDH Feb 10, 13:23 2
- Dano posted the trailer a couple weeks ago. It looks laughably horrible. -- nm - nubby Feb 10, 13:27
- "That bwessed awangement..." -- nm - The Impressive Clergyman Feb 10, 13:26
ScarJo denies Penn rumours -- (link) - Reagen Feb 10, 13:16 1

- UNO -- nm - Jovian Feb 10, 13:20
- The first one easily. -- nm - Loyola Feb 10, 13:18
- (I mean, could you sleep in the Governor Julius Converse room?) - TFox Feb 10, 13:16
- [deleted] 2
  - I like the 1st one - and I would never ski but Suicide Six sounds like a fun place to try -- nm - Epiphany Feb 10, 13:17
  - This one is way more ski-weekend-y to me. -- nm - TFox Feb 10, 13:15
get busy if you want your kid to be born on 11-11-11 -- (link) - marcel Feb 10, 13:11 2
- Hmmm. I bet scheduling a c-section for that day is going to get pretty tough, pretty soon. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 13:14

I missed the Survivor host discussion, is there background, or just who we'd like to host when/if Jeff leaves? -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 13:11 25
- Depending on what causes Jeff to leave, my vote is for Phil Keoghan. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 13:24
- No background, just an idle discussion. Who would you like to see? -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:11 23
  - Why couldn't Rob do it? -- nm - TFox Feb 10, 13:17 8
    - He's clearly the best choice but Rob discussions around here have a tendency to tangent. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:19 4
      - A hilarious choice if he ever got his shiz straight would be Hatch. - TFox Feb 10, 13:28
      - Colby hosts Top Shot and does a good job with that, winning/losing aside I think that gives him the upper hand. -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 13:20 2
        
        As I said earlier, I don't think Colby can relate to villains, which is problematic. - David Feb 10, 13:21 1
        
        Good point. I just envision him peppy and just can't see Rob that way, but when hosting obv you never know -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 13:24
    - He'd have no idea how to host once they got to the Jury segment. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:18 1
      - I love you for this. -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 13:19
    - I loathe him. He would annoy me beyond belief. I don't think he's peppy enough honestly. -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 13:18
  - I think Colby would do pretty well (as mentioned on B2) - MDH Feb 10, 13:15 1
    - Too dumb. nm - Dignan Feb 10, 13:16
  - As someone who has never really watched Survivor on a regular basis, Mike Rowe seems like a great fit. (nm) - musubi Feb 10, 13:14 9
    - I could totally accept him as Probst's replacement. Mike Rowe is awesome -- nm - Jovian Feb 10, 13:21
    - Oh I assumed we were thinking of past castaways. Celebrity host? No idea who I would pick. -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 13:16 4
      - I just jumped into the discussion midstream, I have no idea if there are any parameters. - musubi Feb 10, 13:19 2
        
        Celebrity guest judges every episode! -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 13:20 1
        
        I know! J. Lo and Steven Tyler! -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 13:42
      - We were. Since he doesn't watch the show, Moose went another way with it. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:18
    - I don't know who he is, but he's the same age as Probst according to wikipedia. - David Feb 10, 13:16 2
      - You never watch Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe? - musubi Feb 10, 13:18
      - *raises hand* -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 13:16
  - Lady Gaga! -- nm - cupixie Feb 10, 13:12 1
    - All kidding aside, there a 70% chance they just pick somebody famous instead. - David Feb 10, 13:13
Joey, she's married to Kyle Kendrick of the Phillies. - David Feb 10, 13:10 6
- Of course...best pitcher with best player. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:17 5
  - Sandra is married. Have you learned nothing from the Outback challenge? -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:19 4
    - But it's Roy Halladay. She's curb Mr. Sandra in a heartbeat for him. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:20 3
      - Let's just say Halladay bought my friends and I drinks at the bar one night. - MDH Feb 10, 13:21 2
        
        He was scouting A Rod. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 13:22 1
        
        L4! -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 13:24
Even Chance from Human Target refuses to protect this guy if he don't get out -- nm - Epiphany Feb 10, 13:10
Apparently there is a soccer player in Brazil whose first name is Adalton. I am getting many friend requests and emails in portuguese. -- nm - Amy Feb 10, 13:09 1
- such a cosmopolitan couple you two make -- nm - cupixie Feb 10, 13:10
